A sibling of Sparda..... interesting. It's true no one ever said Sparda didn't have siblings. It's possible. What about the name Empyrean? In the Divine Comedy, it was the highest circle of Heaven. I thought the idea of a fallen angel-themed devil for a sibling of Sparda would be an interesting twist, because no one ever said demonic siblings looked the same.

Here could be an idea. Empyrean was the younger sibling of Sparda and was loyal to Mundus. Whern Sparda rebelled, he fought his brother to a stalemate and only defeated him by sealing him away, which took more effort than Mundus and was the reason Sparda sealed his powers away, as it was the only way to create a seal to hold his brother. After the actions of the previous games, Empyrean was freed, but had to rest in order to restore his lost power. Once fully restored, he destroyed Mundus, took his throne, revived Vergil and convinced him to join him so he could reclaim his father's sword while Empyrean tries to claim the Human World for himself.

Too much?
